#11418: Suggest correct spelling when module is not found because of typo -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: syd | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie):
I, for example, use makefiles during development instead of cabal because it allows for a faster code/compile/fix type errors cycle.
Just curious: wouldn't `cabal repl` be faster? Or adding `ghc-options: -O0` to your `.cabal` file? If you want to proceed with the scanning the filesystem plan, I think it is best create a small wiki page, with a specification. See https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions/AddingFeatures. Basically copy what you wrote in comment:15 + clarifications from later comments. That way it is easier to digest for others, so they don't have to read through all these comments. Paste a link here, and send it to glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org, requesting feedback. Hammering the file system might be frowned upon by some, so make sure you explain the flag (name to be decided by you) is off by default. In case you don't get any reactions, go to #ghc on the freenode irc channel, and ask bgamari (ghc maintainer) if he thinks it is ok to implement this. Then do it and submit a patch. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11418#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
